Applications and Gaming > DMZ

The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) feature allows one network computer to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one computer.. The Port Range Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer to the Internet..

DMZ

Any computer whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function..

Enabled/Disabled  To disable DMZ hosting, select Disabled.. To expose one PC, select Enabled.. Then configure the following settings:

Source IP Address  If you want any IP address to be the source, select Any IP Address.. If you want to specify an IP address or range of IP addresses as the designated source, select and complete the IP address range fields..

Destination  If you want to specify the DMZ host by IP address, select IP Address and enter the IP address in the field provided.. If you want to specify the DMZ host by MAC address, select MAC Address and enter the MAC address in the field provided.. To retrieve this information, click DHCP Client Table..

Applications and Gaming > QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) is a method that assigns priority to specific types of network traffic, which often are demanding, real-time applications, such as gaming, videoconferencing, video streaming, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony.. QoS helps to ensure optimal performance for these types of uses..

QoS (Quality of Service)

Wireless

WMM Support  Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a wireless Quality of Service feature that improves quality for audio, video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless traffic.. To use this feature, the wireless client devices in your network must support Wireless WMM.. To disable this option, select Disabled.. Otherwise, keep the default, Enabled..

No Acknowledgement  If you want to disable the Router’s Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will not re-send data if an error occurs, then select Enabled.. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled..

Internet Access Priority

In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a variety of applications and devices.. There are four levels of priority: High, Medium, Normal, or Low.. When you set priority, do not set all applications to High, because
